SAN FRANCISCO, December 23, (THEWILL) – The new paramount ruler of the Bachama Kingdom, Dr. Daniel Ismaila Shaga has been presented with first-class staff of office by Adamawa state governor, Ahmadu Fintiri.
Dr. Shaga, the 29th Hama Bachama, succeeds the late Irmiya Stephen (Kwire Mana Kpafrato II).
Fintiri commended the kingmakers for ensuring a hitch-free selection process and for selecting one of the best nominees.
He also thanked the four contestants for the throne who remained steadfast despite not realising their ambitions to rule the kingdom.
The governor urged them to sustain the tempo for the overall development of the kingdom.
In his speech, the Hama Bachama who thanked the governor for his support and spiritedness towards the Bachama nation pledged to work hand-in-hand with the government to ensure sustained peace between herders and farmers in the area.
The monarchy dismissed rumoured plot to sack herders from Bachama kingdom.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has congratulated His Royal Majesty, Daniel Ismaila Shaga on his emergence as the new Hama Bachama.
The President also saluted the kingmakers of the Bachama Kingdom and the Adamawa State Government for the wise choice of Dr Shaga, considering the outstanding experience and qualifications of the eminent accountant.
Buhari noted that following the retirement of Dr Shaga as Assistant Commander-General of Narcotics (ACGN) from the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) in 1994, he devoted his time and energy not only to private practice as professional accounting, tax and management consultant but more remarkably, evangelism, community service and humanitarian endeavours.
While urging the new monarch to build on the worthy legacies of peace, unity and development of his predecessor, the President recommended Dr Shaga’s commitment to excellence, probity and accountability to people of his domain in particular and all Nigerians in general.
